Mexican street food for your event in Highwood
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. It suits village fêtes and summer fairs and community days, serving tacos, loaded nachos and burritos.
For a village fête or field event near Highwood, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Christmas markets in Highwood trade in the dark from about 4:05pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check allergen information is on display
Allergen details are on hand for every dish, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Our drinks bar, where the event’s licensing allows.

Questions from Highwood
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Highwood?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we’ll respond with our documents.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
